    I grew up in Vermillion SD. I became acclimated to university life as my parents were employed there. It was a wonderful place to grow up. I attended the University of South Dakota and earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in dental hygiene.

    I took an interest in dentistry as my mom was a chairside dental assistant for years. Dentistry appealed to me, drawing on my dexterity and attention to detail. I have worked in dentistry since 1998 and am happy to be part of the team at Kusek Family Dentistry.

    I started my career as a dental hygienist in 2009 in Denver, CO. I worked in a periodontal office for the past 11 years and enjoyed helping patients achieve better oral health. I love working with and caring for people and knew healthcare was the avenue for me.

    Judy is a certified dental assistant. Judy loves working within an office that keeps up with technology so we can offer our patients the best of care, she also loves working on smile makeover cases with patients who come in uncomfortable with their smile, then once treatment is complete, they cant stop smiling.

    She also appreciates Dr. Kuseks dedication to continuing education for the entire staff. She says that she is thankful to be working with such a great staff and she knows that we have the BEST patients!

    Alexis, after two years of orthodontic treatment, learned the importance of feeling confident in your smile. She has a lengthy background in healthcare and her passion of helping others and her love of art directed her towards dentistry.
